Hi all!
After painting the chimera, as an admirer of WWII tanks i felt a bit stupid to have never tried to paint an Imperial Guard tank...

Painting the chimera was a lot of fun, so i bought an old Leman Russ to make some further experiments on these beautiful models...

First i added some detail and i sandpapered the ruined parts.

The hull side was broken so i built a new tailgate with Plasticard and i've created the welds with the green stuff.

Then i primed and started to recreate the same color scheme of the chimera, adding some other details.
I washed the whole model with black oil paint and then i applied a color filter with a light brown oil

Hi all!
A friend gave me an unpainted chimera from his collection so i decided to work on a model that i've never painted before... The imperial guard Chimera!
First of all i removed all lasguns from the hull because i hate them (ahaha) so i made a conversion with some plasticard.
Because it's meant to be used with Armoured Battlegroup from Imperial Armour Vol 1, i've removed multilaser from the turret and i've glued an autocannon.
The top hatch has been replaced with that of the space marines vehicles (it looks better for me)
I worked some days and this is the result!
Hope you like it!
See you soon!
